Waived: Jori Lehtera on waivers! 2/7/19 - Cleared and loaned to LHV

Good. I never want to see him in a Flyers sweater again. Another safe piece of garbage from the prior administration gone.

It's invigorating seeing Fletcher take some action on players that we've been begging Hextall to purge for the better part of a year and a half. There was never any rationale given as to why exactly Lehtera remained here as long as he did. Hope the next step is being loaned to a team in Europe, I don't want him in this organization in any capacity.

Yasssssss!!!

I can't believe it took this long to waive one of the worst players in the entire league.

This.

1000000%

How anyone felt keeping him up vs letting literally any young guy play was a good idea is just mind blowing.

Hak had him on PK1 and at times PP2

Hak also had Manning on PP2 and PK2 last season

Hak also had Weise on PK2 and at times PP2

For all the hate Homer has gotten when he was GM, the presence of Weise & Lehtera and absence of Carter Hart are some of the bigger mistakes in recent Flyers management history. At least Homer corrected those mistakes by canning Hextall

Wait.

How did he get sent down when there are no other options?

Phantoms needed a pick me up. Jori knows a guy who could help.

Yet another player th

yet another player Hak played the shit out of that no one else in the league wants. When amac is waived I’ll be close to as happy as when Hakstol was fired. Even last night. Falls down on the tradition play. Nails Patrick in the foot.

No need to stop there.

Ryan White was also a PK and a PP2 guy in the same year!

Charlie thinking Lehtera waived was to create a roster spot. Elliot vs Morin. Of Elliot comes back huh have a few games to see if you can trade him for anything.

I'd be surprised if he didn't report. He's probably still owed close to $2,000,000 in salary.

You're pretty close. It should be $1.7 million (34% of the season left @ $5 million total salary). Un-fun fact: Lehtera's actual salary has risen over the past 2 seasons: $4.4 million in 2016-17, $4.7 million in 2017-18, and $5 million this season.
